Certainly true about British servitude to the US. They have admitted on several occasions that if the US want to go to war then they have no choice but to join them if they're told. I don't know what version of independence they're imagining, but it doesn't count for a lot when another country can order them off to war.

I don't think many argue multi culturalism is nirvana. But it's better than the alternatives, apartheid or segregation. Most of the rest of your views are mainstream in France at least, I'm not sure why you think that Le Pen is the one you agree with. Of course integrating people takes investment, something the west hasn't been good at doing for people. "Forcibly integrated" is an eyebrow raising turn of phrase though,

The obvious reverse implication to @flattythehurdler's words is that ethnically homogenous mono-culturalism is "nirvana".

Which is obviously nonsense, and also goes against pretty much the entirety of human existence and experience, and is basically a call to turn back the tide of human progress.

The phrase "forcibly integrated" is downright scary, carrying extremely unpleasant and threatening overtones as it does.

It is as simple as. As is the disparity in power on the two sides of the bargaining table. But they reckon that by "taking a hard line" or being a "bloody difficult woman" they can berate the other side into giving them what they want. It's really really comical.
